The analysis of socio-economic data often involves combining data bases from several administrative sources collected on different spatial partitions of the area of interest. It is then necessary to transform the data from the original spatial units (“sources”) to the final spatial support (“target...

The empirical literature on economic growth and development has moved from the study of proximate determinants to the analysis of ever deeper, more fundamental factors, rooted in long-term history. A growing body of new empirical work focuses on the measurement and estimation of the effects of...

Nous souhaitons apporter des éléments de réponse aux questions suivantes. Est-il possible de stabiliser un système non linéaire de dimension infinie par un contrôle en boucle fermée (aussi appelé ‘contrôle feedback’) de dimension finie ? Est-il possible d’estimer l’état d’un système non linéaire...

This talk reports the results of three empirical studies on the evolutionary origins of human behavior. Human preferences are usually studied in people in industrialized contexts (often undergraduate students). However, these well-studied people may not be representative of the wider breadth of...

We study the effects of credit shocks in a model with heterogeneous entrepreneurs, financing constraints, and a realistic firm size distribution. As entrepreneurial firms can grow only slowly in this set-up, we show that, by reducing entrepreneurial firm size, negative shocks have a very persistent...

We show that collective bargaining can enhance retailers’ buying power vis-àvis their suppliers. We consider a model of vertically related markets, in which an upstream leader faces a competitive fringe of less efficient suppliers and negotiates secretly with several firms that compete in a...

A carbon tax on fuel would penalize carbon intensive fuels like gasoline and shift fuel consumption to less carbon intensive alternatives like biofuels. Since biofuel production competes for land with agricultural production, a carbon tax could increase land rents and raise food prices. This paper...
